Comparative morbidity and mortality following primary total shoulder arthroplasty in octogenarians with and without diabetes in the United States.
Article in Journal of clinical orthopaedics and trauma, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Diabetic patients face higher risks of postoperative medical complications and surgical issues in various orthopedic surgeries. It is essential to understand if these risks differ in the older geriatric population. Therefore, this study sought to assess whether diabetic octogenarians exhibit elevated thirty-day morbidity and mortality risks in comparison to non-diabetic octogenarians after primary total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). Methods: Data were obtained from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) database. Octogenarians who received primary TSA from 2006 to 2019 were categorized into diabetic and non-diabetic groups. Demographic information, additional medical conditions, and postoperative complications were gathered and analyzed between the two groups using both univariate statistics and multivariate logistic regression. Results: After adjusting for multiple variables, diabetic octogenarians exhibited a higher risk of bleeding requiring blood transfusions (OR 1.52; p = 0.032) and prolonged hospital stays (OR 1.41; p = 0.001) compared to their non-diabetic counterparts. No significant difference in mortality rates was observed between the two cohorts (p = 0.173). Conclusion: Primary TSA appears to be a generally safe procedure for diabetic octogenarians, though these patients demonstrate increased risks for blood transfusions and prolonged hospital stays compared to non-diabetes. Level of evidence: III.
